Magnets are used in generators. A magnet is rotated by something, e.g. a wind turbine, and the magnet turns inside a copper coil which generates electricity. It is the opposite of a motor.

Can you make energy using a magnet?

There is really no way to make energy - do some reading about the Law of Conservation of Energy for more details. With a magnet, you can convert one type of energy into another - mechanical energy into electrical energy, or electrical energy into mechanical energy.
